MILLS AT 



FORREST CITY, ARK. 



The Stevens Lumber Company, Ublnelandcr, Wis., has completed Us 

 new sawmill to replace the big plant destroyed by fire on last Memorial 

 Day, May ."iO, and Is running a full day shift of ninety men. Early In 

 the new year 11 ni^ht shift will be added. 



The Shawano Hub Manufacturing Company, Shawano, Wis., Is consid- 

 ering three propositions with respect to Its plant. One Is to continue the 

 mill as a hub factory under the present management ; another Is to lease 

 It to Interests which desire to take over the property, and the third Is to 

 convert the Industry Into another line. A decision will be reached within 

 a short time. 



The Northwestern Motor Company, Eau Claire, Wis., manufacturer ot 

 a variety of ga.soUne and kerosene-powered railroad equipment. Including 

 forest patrol cars and logging engines. Is planning to erect a complete 

 new plant during the coming year In order to provide proper facilities 

 for handling Its rapidly Increasing business. 



The Hattcn Lumber Company, New Lopdon, Wis., has completed Im- 

 portant Improvements at its sawmill which greatly Increases the efficiency 

 and provides an adequate supply ot logs Independent of switch engine 

 service In its yards. A huge steam crane has been constructed at the foot 

 of the log slip, by means of which fifteen or twenty logs can be lifted 

 from flat cars at one time and hoisted to three rollways for reserve, so 

 that a forty-eight hours' supply of logs always will be available. The 

 crane Is operated by a steam log loader purchased from the Keith & lilies 

 Lumber Company, Crandon, Wis., and to which another drum has been 

 added. The lumber grading shed also has been enlarged by an addition, 

 52 X 40 feet, providing a total of eighteen lumber trucks. It Is likely that 

 a new resaw will be installed soon to replace the present equipment, so 

 that larger timbers may be handled than heretofore. The mill was closed 

 for several days while final changes were completed. A full night crew 

 will be put on shortly after January 1. 



William Dheln, Eaton, Wis., has sold a tract of forty acres of timber 

 and a small sawmill at that point to Adolph Jensen, who will establish 

 a camp and re-open the mill at once. 



The Wisconsin State Council of Defense has issued a request to county 

 councils throughout the northern Wisconsin timber country urging that 

 settlers be impressed with the necessity for a large wood cut during the 

 winter so that there may be provided an adequate supply of wood fuel to 

 fortify Wisconsin against a possible shortage of fuel during the coming 

 year, especially since it is believed certain that the coal supply of the . 

 immediate future will be wholly inadequate to fill all requirements. 



A party of Wausau lumbermen who are stockholders in the Wausau- 

 Southern and the Marathon Lumber companies of Laurel, Miss., recently 

 traveled South to inspect the various mills. Conditions were found to be 

 fairly satisfactory, the shortage of cars being a much greater handicap 

 than the l.ibor situation. The party consisted of Walter .\lexander, C. C. 

 Yawkey. W. H. Bissell, D. C. Everest and A. P. Woodson. 



The Phoenix Manufacturing Company, Eau Claire, Wis., widely known 

 in the sawmill and logging equipment and machinery industry, has tem- 

 porarily stopped acceptance of new business because of the unprecedented 

 demands upon its facilities. The company Is executing large orders for 

 ordnance and gun carriage tools, automatic stokers and other equipment 

 for the Westinghouse Interests; sixteen huge shipbuilding crane trucks 

 for the government through the McMyler Interstate Manufacturing Com- 

 pany. Bedford, O., and a number of Phoenix "Centipede" tractor trucks 

 for the United States army. Repair work on ten large steam log haulers
